FW 1.15c --the orchestral string section--

1.15a:
Then as she is on her behaviourite job of quainance bandy, fruting for firstlings and taking her tithe...1.15b:
like so many heegills and collines, sitton aroont, scentbreeched and somepotreek, in their swishawish...1.15c:
We may see and hear nothing if we choose of the shortlegged bergins off Corkhill or the bergamoors...1.15d:
though every crowd has its several tones and every trade has its clever mechanics and each harmonical...1.15e:
But all they are all there scraping along to sneeze out a likelihood that will solve and salve life's robulous...1.15f:
Behove this sound of Irish sense. Really? Here English might be seen. Royally? One sovereign punned...

shortfingered = dishonest? (cf FW31 "that none too genial humour which William the Conk on the spindle side had inherited with the hereditary whitelock and some shortfingeredness from his greataunt Sophy")
